The client diagnosed with multiple sclerosis is scheduled for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the head. Which information should the nurse teach the client about the test?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
MRI machines are loud, and head immobility is critical for clear images. Wires/lights describe EEG, oral contrast is not used for brain MRI, and the test is not repeated over hours.
